But... In the US, take away a particular race and the country will still survive. Here, take away a particular race- let's see how the country can handle that. Racism here is so defined unlike that in other countries such as the US. I don't know who will continue buldling those buildings if the indi...

You are right Bushra, Racism is all over the world, and to be honest I have found that the USA is the worst for this. Here in UAE, you are correct, if we don't like it we have a choice. ^ yes Sage, you have a choice, but for the desparate ones don't. So asking them "why not leave?" is als...

Interesting, however in my expereince here the lower paid workers are completely taken advantage of their higher paid bosses, who are of the same nationality by the way. The other interesting thing is, if you go to India, Pakistan, Philipines, Thailand, Bangladesh, Nepal to recruit labour, the line...

Those poor laborers.. Why they don't leave? Probably because 1. they earn more here and apparently they'd rather be treated badly and earn rather than starve in their own country because of lack of jobs there, or 2. they really wanted to leave but their employers really know how to keep their slaves...

Why do you say that?

- If you think jobs depend on race/skin color
- If you start wobbling your head on that particular type of music
- If you think imagination and ideas are almost useless
- If you think having the 'mostest' will automatically earn you respect

In fact, why is the region called as such? It is in the middle of the east of what?

I am aware of the power of women in Dubai. They are too powerful in fact that they can cut lines and call the police when a man violates her. When I say 'violate'I mean, for example, a man stared at her or touches her, etc. This worries me sometimes since anytime, a woman can call the police on you ...

I just read this, and it struck me... http://www.7days.ae/2006/12/09/happy-dxb-mas.html#continueStory To the muslims here: - Are muslims really offended by the christian celebration of christmas? - Do you feel it's celebration here in dubai and in other predominantly muslim nations offending? - Do y...

Well this is the amount of money being transferred by immigrants from GCC countries to Asia only in a year period!! I don't hear anyone complains about it, why?

Yeah, why don't we hear locals complain about it? Maybe because these asians worked hard to earn it?

I didn't get what you just said... All I just said is the truth.
What do you want really?

Call it ''islamophobia'' if you like, I'd call it Islam Double Standards. I went through Ramadan here in Dubai making sure I won't let people see me doing the forbidden things- this is primarily due to respect and because I am in a muslim country, and also because of the fear that if somebody catche...

DUBAI — The Dubai Municipality is scheduled to begin the eviction drive against bachelors staying in residential areas this February. Though the deadline for its completion is February next year, officials say it can take a couple of years. Engineer Walid Abdul Karim of the Building Inspection Depa...

What's the use of praying if ultimately it is the 'will of god' that is followed. Unless man has the power to change that god's will, it's just a waste of time.

What's with this ''families only'' business? I know I am in Dubai and I must respect it's culture but as a generic human being it is getting irritating. Why is it necessary here to separate and allocate special places for families in restaurants, buses, parks, etc?

this is better:

This noob is just wondering. Why are the people here so worked up with it? Is there a prize?

^ What bugs me is why they need to separate them and restrict access to non-family people from places designated for them. What is the purpose of that?

What do I get when I reach 100 then?

What's the prize?

I don't understand in these forums why simple good-natured albeit copy-pasted posts turn into something like what is happening now here?

In Dubai I think that is the 'best' solution they can think of. Do not expect more from a place where, among many other things, officials declare that ''unusual'' fires (that usually happen during summer- I wonder why.... :roll: ) are caused by djinns. Just hope that they'll construct a ''Bachelor C...

I don't think that doing only good things and no bad things in one's entire life will guarantee that nothing bad will happen to him either. It's just that when something bad happens to a person, he thinks of something bad he did in the past and then cause-and-effect relate them. But if one can't thi...

soon they'll pay for their greediness. I hope so! .. but the bachelors will still be evicted.
Is there a currently bahelor-friendly area in Dubai? Who would want to live in a building full of bratty rowdy kids and suspicious whiny parents anyway?

^ heh heh. of course that is subjective.
thanks.. this shattered the squeaky-clean female image in my mind. I thought female loos are sterile, shiny, pinkish, and smell like flowers in spring.

Let's talk about this. Before I arrived here I've already been hearing stories about it. And they say one becomes more vulnerable to such if the person is 'smooth' (none or very rare body hairs). I did not take this issue seriously until I've read news of men being harrassed and even raped. And then...

Dude, I've had more than my fair share of getting hit on by gay guys. The good thing is that almost always they bugger off after they learn that I'm straight. There was one time in college when the situation demanded that I take drastic measures, and the poor guy paid for it. I don't have anything ...

beacuse everything depends on what lifestyle you want to live. Dubai is a city of great contrasts you know (that's what they've been telling us anyway), and housing can cost from around AED800/mo (which I wouldn't really call ''housing'' since you'll be sharing a room with other people) in downtown ...

Whoa! will be waiting for that! I hope NO sucky hero system like in warcraft 3.
